Overall WWF: In Your House isn't the triumphant Playstation debut title it could have been.
The music however lets the experience down with only guitar licks which play after moves are landed either nothing or a constant soundtrack would have been preferable. Perfect, and there's an impressive amount of it for such an early game. The in-game commentary is provided by Vince McMahon and Mr. The animations used are passable though similar for each wrestler, and the crowd and arenas simulate a wrestling environment for the most part. Graphically the game takes a similar route to Mortal Kombat, using digitized sprites of wrestlers for some realism at the cost of pixellation. Each wrestler instead gets their own stage, much like a fighting game, themed around their gimmicks. It's just a shame that the movesets featured in the game aren't more distinct, since punching, kicking and lifting other wrestlers up uses the same animations for all 10 playable characters. There are 10 playable wrestlers in the game, which isn't a lot but there are just enough for a variety of heels and faces, selected from the forefront of '96 WWF talent.
This was not the case as WWF: In Your House follows closely in the Mortal Kombat mould of Midway developed wrestling games, though some nice touches were made in attempting to emulate the general moves used in wrestling compared to the usual fighting game moves. You'd be forgiven for thinking that the first WWF title in this review to feature on the Playstation would attempt to break out of the tournament fighter clone style in which the Mega Drive saw itself entrenched.
